[QUOTE="General RE LEE, post: 2207642, member: 115273"] 7mm STW Nosler Brass 3-4th firing Lee Precision FL Sizing die 168 gn Berger VLD 78.5 grains IMR 8133 I went to seat some VLDs loaded to 0.020” off the lands to SAAMI spec 3.60 COAL for the 7mm STW. When I was raising the ram into the die and adjusting the seating stem down to get started it pushed the bullet down into the case. There is neck tension when I try to start a bullet into the case and push it into the case by pressing it on a hard surface the bullet doesn’t budge. Once the bullet starts to get seated in the neck to about 3.70” COAL I can flip the bullet over and press with a little pressure and the bullet goes down into the case. I’ve resized these before with my FL die and haven’t had any issues. I will say I’ve only loaded them long 0.20” off lands so I haven’t loaded them to SAAMI COAL length. Are these cases shot out?
